Still Life's and Sketchbook

Sorry for the lack of updates! Work and class have both increased, leaving less blogging time then I would like! But here is some of the things I have been working on :)

My favorite still life so far, copper and glass

My homework for still life that failed a bit, I need to tweek it

Painting silver and glass

Thumbnails for digital media that no one liked

In Digital media we were randomly assigned an illustrator and theme. I got cowboys and indians, and Ralph Steadman (Of Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas fame). Im taking a far twist on cowboys and indians, we will see how it turns out. Thusly no one but gentleman friend likes it

Propaganda!

Hello all! In Digital Media, we got to design an advertising poster for an even we are excited about. I of course chose the Dixon Corn Maze, owned by Cool Patch Pumpkins. Got some good feedback from class, need to change the fonts around a bit, but over all Im happy with it!

Sketchbook and Heads & Hands

More homework for my heads and hands class, and a WIP (work in progress) of an inclass thing Im working on. Nothing terribly exciting, except my handsome male models lips :)

Both are just black and white, its crazy how the charcoal can look like flesh tone sometimes

Sketchbook! Panda's and more

Some shots from my sketchbook! Neck and jaw drawings with my fabulous male friend as a model. Also practicing drawing panda's for a future project, and a guest shot!!

Robopanda by Steve

And some thumbnails for my digital media class, plus we had to make a signature and make paths and what not... :) Thanks for your time!

Still Life Painting

Sorry for the lack of updates, its been a busy week! Here's my still life painting from in class today. Much stronger then last week. Today we started on clear glass, which is tricky, but for my first time I'm pretty pleased!

I'll have a sketchbook update ASAP for you as well! Have a great day all :)

Still Life Painting

Its the 3rd week of still life painting. I ended up choosing a bad location to view the set-up, and so this image isn't as strong. partly because the spot i wanted i thought was taken and instead was being used by someone to store their bag, and mostly because I was lazy and didn't want to go grab an easel. but its an image

Portraits, sketchbook and the Face of My School

I know that every one's weakness is heads, but for me its almost a phobia. I never drew people, i drew animals. So my Heads and Hands Class has been a real challenge. I really didn't want to post these but I feel like its cheating if I don't. Plus i can link back and be amazed at how much I have grown. Right? First I had to do a self portrait, which is like salt on the wound. It was more an exercise in shapes, but was truly painful. Next up we had perspective of someones heads, so here are some male heads

Also, if you ever wondered why administration is so slow? This is why.. While he lines out the door to talk to someone on the day disbursement checks are issued, here's the staffing....

Its all falling into place
